G Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 2, 1986 Indoor playground expands TERRACE — The In- door Playground pro- gram is a new Terrace Parks and Recreation Department recreation program designed for preschoolers and their parents and was developed as a result of needs expressed by a number of mothers in January. This drop-in program has been so successful that the recreation department expanded to two mornings a week in February and now are considering a third mor- ning. The purpose of this play group is to provide an opportunity for young children to socialize and play while their parent(s) socialize and observe. the children at play. The program is organized and ‘run by the parents who attend. It’s very loosely structured for the youngsters and gives the parents the op- portunity to meet other adults with similarily ag- ed children, to share ex- periences and concerns regarding parenting and to have a break. Due to the success of the program, Terrace Parks and Recreation Department is changing the age ranges of the groups. Tuesday 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. is for 18 to 30 month toddlers; Friday 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. is for toddlers of walking abili- ty to 30 months and the new Wednesday session is for preschoolers three to five years of age. The program is located at the Terrace Arena Banquet Room, but in the spring will move to the Lower Little Park Tot Lot. For more information on this new program, call the Terrace Parks and Recreation Depart- ment at 638-1174.

Metropolis to be shown by Andrea Deakin Terrace Film Reviewer TERRACE — ‘The Re- turn of Martin Guerre”’, shown by Reel World on March 20, is a fascinating film based on a real incident that was recorded by a jurist in the 16th Century France. The young man, un- comfortable in his mar- tiage and squabbling with his father, walks away from his village and out of everyone’s life for several years. Then one day, just as abruptly, he returns to his village, his farm and his family and is ap- parently accepted again. But is he really who he says he is? Soldiers retur- ning from the war say he is not, but his wife insists that he is, and the whole matter becomes one for the law to decide. This moving true story was winner of three Paris Academy awards, On April 3 at 8 p.m., Reel World wiil be show- ing Fritz Lang's famous film, ‘‘Metropolis’’. First made in 1926, ‘Metropolis’? depicts a city of automatons con- trolled from a console of telephones and buttons. Above the city the rich and beautiful dance while below, others toil. Giorgio Moroder has ad- ded color and a sound track to the original film, plus easy to read title cards. At 4, Intersections teams could be seeing ac- tion at this massive soc- cer event. Organizers point out that select, or all-star teams are not allowed to enter. It’s strictly a series for regular house league teams. Teams entered here will play for the Interior titles only. In 1987, it’s expected that winners will continue on to meet Coastal winners. Many volunteers will be needed for this series, especially for billeting and organizing.
